Many wore ioet. They can not survive a wet soil for extended periods. It is best to dig and store the elumps after frost has killed the top* and before free ling weather. Otherwise, you are taking a chance even in Eastern Carolina. Careful ly lift the clumps, when the soil is in good condition for digging, cover with peat moss and store in ? location well protected from freezing. If you saved poinaettis plants last Christmas and grew them out side during the summer, they should be brought in the house be fore frost. Remember that the poinsettia is a short-day plant and should not be exposed to additional light at night. The Christmas cactus is also a short - day plant and normally blooms in the short days of winter. For this reason it should not re ceive any more light than that provided by the winter season day light. Amaryllis plants should be dried out in order to give them a rest period. I grew one outside last summer and have placed it in the basement. I will not water it gain until it is time to bring it into bloom. Early January is a good time to begin watering if you want the plants to bloom in February or early March. It is important that the plant have a rest (dry) period of st least four weeks. Falling laves Tan be a complete nuisance, especially if you have planted grass seed in your lawn. They should be carefully removed, when dry, otherwise they will smother the young seedlings.
